<\/p>\n

Freedom Front Plus (FF+) stated that the MK Party’s visit to Kleinfontein, an area exclusively inhabited by white Afrikaners, highlighted the importance of cultural communities and their right to exist in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

MKP\u2019s delegation, led by the parliamentary chief whip, Mzwanele Manyi visited the area in Pretoria on Monday.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the fact-finding visit was to engage with local leaders and gain a deeper understanding of how Section 235 of the Constitution is interpreted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manyi believes that settlements like Orania and Kleinfontein, which are predominantly inhabited by white Afrikaners, have distorted the intent of Section 235 to promote exclusionary agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the FF+ said: \u201cUnfortunately, the visit took on a racial tone, with Manyi accusing the communities of Kleinfontein and Orania of racism and apartheid\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe existence of various cultural communities in a diverse South Africa is a reality and should be recognised in the spirit of the country\u2019s motto, !ke e: \/xarra \/\/ke (diverse people unite).<\/p>\n

\u201cRecognising cultural diversity is precisely what is needed to foster unity within diversity and national pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cCultural communities, including Kleinfontein, Orania, the Zulu cultural community \u2013 where 2,8 million hectares in KwaZulu-Natal are regulated by the Ingonyama Trust Act \u2013 and many others, reflect South Africa\u2019s reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the Gauteng High Court declared that Kleinfontein was functioning illegally because it did not adhere to the Tshwane Municipality’s zoning laws.<\/p>\n

However, the party said that for Kleinfontein to comply with legal requirements within the jurisdiction of the Tshwane Metro, the formalisation process should be fair and realistic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of the fact that more than 600 illegal informal settlements exist within the Tshwane Metro\u2019s jurisdiction and are tolerated without any environmental impact studies, land-use registrations or unreasonable tax increases and fines, the measures imposed on Kleinfontein seem unfair,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

It said Tshwane was not providing any services to the Kleinfontein community, as the community has built and maintains its own roads as well as water and wastewater treatment systems.<\/p>\n

FF+ said it would continue to advocate, at the highest level, for the recognition of self-respecting communities, subsidiarity in South Africa.<\/p>\n
